Due to their profession they lived in different places in the east part of the Upper Hungary (Felvidék ), in the Partium, and in the center and eastern part of Hungary.

Only female descendent remained by 2007.

The Forefather



and
his Family Tree.  











 

As typical of the XIII.rd Century, the family have changed his residence frequently. Therefore still could be unknown family members from that time. It is also unknown, that from where arrived the firts Sconda to this region.

Johannes Skonda (1724 app. - 1778) butcher is the first known family member, who married in Jászómindszent/Poproč and died in Aranyida/Zlata Idka. Eight years of his life (1768-1776) is unknown. It is probably, that children have born in that time too, unknown by us.
